Character(s): Challengers of the Unknown [Ace Morgan; Rocky Davis; Red Ryan]; Harold Moffet; Batman; Corinna Stark; Sgt Bambadora; soldiers; Amazon tribesmen; Duncan Pramble (unnamed)
Synopsis: Rocky hits casinos with Corinna Stark, drinking and gambling his money away. Red goes from being “The 9MM Vigilante” in Gotham when Batman sends him away, to El Segundo. There, he works as a mercenary, is invited to change sides, is betrayed and thrown into prison. Ace hang-glides over the Amazon seeking the Tuto, a tribe famed for magic. He boards a riverboat that’s ambushed by arrows, is shot, tumbles over a waterfall and lies dying. Harold Moffet gets messages from beyond: Prof’s face telling him “Do your job,” and TV scenes of mass murder. All lament, “I’m getting too old for this…”
